Programs & Examples On #Cstdint

Header that declares types and macro constants to deal with fixed-width cross-platform integer types, available since C++11. This header replaces stdint.h wich is tagged as deprecated.

'uint32_t' does not name a type

I also encountered the same problem on Mac OSX 10.6.8 and unfortunately adding #include <stdint.h> or <cstdint.h> to the corresponding file did not solve my problem. However, after more search, I found this solution advicing to add #include <sys/types.h> which worked well for me!

long long int vs. long int vs. int64_t in C++

You don't need to go to 64-bit to see something like this. Consider int32_t on common 32-bit platforms. It might be typedef'ed as int or as a long, but obviously only one of the two at a time. int and long are of course distinct types.

It's not hard to see that there is no workaround which makes int == int32_t == long on 32-bit systems. For the same reason, there's no way to make long == int64_t == long long on 64-bit systems.

If you could, the possible consequences would be rather painful for code that overloaded foo(int), foo(long) and foo(long long) - suddenly they'd have two definitions for the same overload?!

The correct solution is that your template code usually should not be relying on a precise type, but on the properties of that type. The whole same_type logic could still be OK for specific cases:

long foo(long x);
std::tr1::disable_if(same_type(int64_t, long), int64_t)::type foo(int64_t);

I.e., the overload foo(int64_t) is not defined when it's exactly the same as foo(long).

[edit] With C++11, we now have a standard way to write this:

long foo(long x);
std::enable_if<!std::is_same<int64_t, long>::value, int64_t>::type foo(int64_t);

[edit] Or C++20

long foo(long x);
int64_t foo(int64_t) requires (!std::is_same_v<int64_t, long>);

disable all form elements inside div

    $(document).ready(function () {
        $('#chkDisableEnableElements').change(function () {
            if ($('#chkDisableEnableElements').is(':checked')) {
                enableElements($('#divDifferentElements').children());
            }
            else {
                disableElements($('#divDifferentElements').children());
            }
        });
    });

    function disableElements(el) {
        for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
            el[i].disabled = true;

            disableElements(el[i].children);
        }
    }

    function enableElements(el) {
        for (var i = 0; i < el.length; i++) {
            el[i].disabled = false;

            enableElements(el[i].children);
        }
    }

function to remove duplicate characters in a string

This would be much easier if you just looped through the array and added all new characters to a list, then retruned that list.

With this approach, you need to reshuffle the array as you step through it and eventually redimension it to the appropriate size in the end.

appending list but error 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'append'

list is mutable

Change

last_list=last_list.append(p.last_name)

to

last_list.append(p.last_name)

will work

Set variable value to array of strings

You're trying to assign three separate string literals to a single string variable. A valid string variable would be 'John, Sarah, George'. If you want embedded single quotes between the double quotes, you have to escape them.

Also, your actual SELECT won't work, because SQL databases won't parse the string variable out into individual literal values. You need to use dynamic SQL instead, and then execute that dynamic SQL statement. (Search this site for dynamic SQL, with the database engine you're using as the topic (as in [sqlserver] dynamic SQL), and you should get several examples.)

Test if a string contains a word in PHP?

if (strpos($string, $word) === FALSE) {
   ... not found ...
}

Note that strpos() is case sensitive, if you want a case-insensitive search, use stripos() instead.

Also note the ===, forcing a strict equality test. strpos CAN return a valid 0 if the 'needle' string is at the start of the 'haystack'. By forcing a check for an actual boolean false (aka 0), you eliminate that false positive.

:after and :before pseudo-element selectors in Sass

Use ampersand to specify the parent selector.

SCSS syntax:

p {
    margin: 2em auto;

    > a {
        color: red;
    }

    &:before {
        content: "";
    }

    &:after {
        content: "* * *";
    }
}

When should I use git pull --rebase?

I think it boils down to a personal preference.

Do you want to hide your silly mistakes before pushing your changes? If so, git pull --rebase is perfect. It allows you to later squash your commits to a few (or one) commits. If you have merges in your (unpushed) history, it is not so easy to do a git rebase later one.

I personally don't mind publishing all my silly mistakes, so I tend to merge instead of rebase.

How to load image files with webpack file-loader

Regarding problem #1

Once you have the file-loader configured in the webpack.config, whenever you use import/require it tests the path against all loaders, and in case there is a match it passes the contents through that loader. In your case, it matched

{
    test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i, 
    loader: "file-loader?name=/public/icons/[name].[ext]"
}

// For newer versions of Webpack it should be
{
    test: /\.(jpe?g|png|gif|svg)$/i, 
    loader: 'file-loader',
    options: {
      name: '/public/icons/[name].[ext]'
    }
}

and therefore you see the image emitted to

dist/public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png

which is the wanted behavior.

The reason you are also getting the hash file name, is because you are adding an additional inline file-loader. You are importing the image as:

'file!../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'.

Prefixing with file!, passes the file into the file-loader again, and this time it doesn't have the name configuration.

So your import should really just be:

import img from '../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'

Update

As noted by @cgatian, if you actually want to use an inline file-loader, ignoring the webpack global configuration, you can prefix the import with two exclamation marks (!!):

import '!!file!../../public/icons/imageview_item_normal.png'.

Regarding problem #2

After importing the png, the img variable only holds the path the file-loader "knows about", which is public/icons/[name].[ext] (aka "file-loader? name=/public/icons/[name].[ext]"). Your output dir "dist" is unknown. You could solve this in two ways:

  1. Run all your code under the "dist" folder
  2. Add publicPath property to your output config, that points to your output directory (in your case ./dist).

Example:

output: {
  path: PATHS.build,
  filename: 'app.bundle.js',
  publicPath: PATHS.build
},

Console logging for react?

Here are some more console logging "pro tips":

console.table

var animals = [
    { animal: 'Horse', name: 'Henry', age: 43 },
    { animal: 'Dog', name: 'Fred', age: 13 },
    { animal: 'Cat', name: 'Frodo', age: 18 }
];

console.table(animals);

console.table

console.trace

Shows you the call stack for leading up to the console.

console.trace

You can even customise your consoles to make them stand out

console.todo = function(msg) {
    console.log(‘ % c % s % s % s‘, ‘color: yellow; background - color: black;’, ‘–‘, msg, ‘–‘);
}

console.important = function(msg) {
    console.log(‘ % c % s % s % s’, ‘color: brown; font - weight: bold; text - decoration: underline;’, ‘–‘, msg, ‘–‘);
}

console.todo(“This is something that’ s need to be fixed”);
console.important(‘This is an important message’);

console.todo

If you really want to level up don't limit your self to the console statement.

In Angular, What is 'pathmatch: full' and what effect does it have?

While technically correct, the other answers would benefit from an explanation of Angular's URL-to-route matching. I don't think you can fully (pardon the pun) understand what pathMatch: full does if you don't know how the router works in the first place.


Let's first define a few basic things. We'll use this URL as an example: /users/james/articles?from=134#section.

  1. It may be obvious but let's first point out that query parameters (?from=134) and fragments (#section) do not play any role in path matching. Only the base url (/users/james/articles) matters.

  2. Angular splits URLs into segments. The segments of /users/james/articles are, of course, users, james and articles.

  3. The router configuration is a tree structure with a single root node. Each Route object is a node, which may have children nodes, which may in turn have other children or be leaf nodes.

The goal of the router is to find a router configuration branch, starting at the root node, which would match exactly all (!!!) segments of the URL. This is crucial! If Angular does not find a route configuration branch which could match the whole URL - no more and no less - it will not render anything.

E.g. if your target URL is /a/b/c but the router is only able to match either /a/b or /a/b/c/d, then there is no match and the application will not render anything.

Finally, routes with redirectTo behave slightly differently than regular routes, and it seems to me that they would be the only place where anyone would really ever want to use pathMatch: full. But we will get to this later.

Default (prefix) path matching

The reasoning behind the name prefix is that such a route configuration will check if the configured path is a prefix of the remaining URL segments. However, the router is only able to match full segments, which makes this naming slightly confusing.

Anyway, let's say this is our root-level router configuration:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'products',
    children: [
      {
        path: ':productID',
        component: ProductComponent,
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    path: ':other',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'tricks',
        component: TricksComponent,
      },
    ],
  },
  {
    path: 'user',
    component: UsersonComponent,
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'permissions',
        component: UsersPermissionsComponent,
      },
      {
        path: ':userID',
        children: [
          {
            path: 'comments',
            component: UserCommentsComponent,
          },
          {
            path: 'articles',
            component: UserArticlesComponent,
          },
        ],
      },
    ],
  },
];

Note that every single Route object here uses the default matching strategy, which is prefix. This strategy means that the router iterates over the whole configuration tree and tries to match it against the target URL segment by segment until the URL is fully matched. Here's how it would be done for this example:

  1. Iterate over the root array looking for a an exact match for the first URL segment - users.
  2. 'products' !== 'users', so skip that branch. Note that we are using an equality check rather than a .startsWith() or .includes() - only full segment matches count!
  3. :other matches any value, so it's a match. However, the target URL is not yet fully matched (we still need to match james and articles), thus the router looks for children.
  • The only child of :other is tricks, which is !== 'james', hence not a match.
  1. Angular then retraces back to the root array and continues from there.
  2. 'user' !== 'users, skip branch.
  3. 'users' === 'users - the segment matches. However, this is not a full match yet, thus we need to look for children (same as in step 3).
  • 'permissions' !== 'james', skip it.
  • :userID matches anything, thus we have a match for the james segment. However this is still not a full match, thus we need to look for a child which would match articles.
    1. We can see that :userID has a child route articles, which gives us a full match! Thus the application renders UserArticlesComponent.

Full URL (full) matching

Example 1

Imagine now that the users route configuration object looked like this:

{
  path: 'users',
  component: UsersComponent,
  pathMatch: 'full',
  children: [
    {
      path: 'permissions',
      component: UsersPermissionsComponent,
    },
    {
      path: ':userID',
      component: UserComponent,
      children: [
        {
          path: 'comments',
          component: UserCommentsComponent,
        },
        {
          path: 'articles',
          component: UserArticlesComponent,
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
}

Note the usage of pathMatch: full. If this were the case, steps 1-5 would be the same, however step 6 would be different:

  1. 'users' !== 'users/james/articles - the segment does not match because the path configuration users with pathMatch: full does not match the full URL, which is users/james/articles.
  2. Since there is no match, we are skipping this branch.
  3. At this point we reached the end of the router configuration without having found a match. The application renders nothing.

Example 2

What if we had this instead:

{
  path: 'users/:userID',
  component: UsersComponent,
  pathMatch: 'full',
  children: [
    {
      path: 'comments',
      component: UserCommentsComponent,
    },
    {
      path: 'articles',
      component: UserArticlesComponent,
    },
  ],
}

users/:userID with pathMatch: full matches only users/james thus it's a no-match once again, and the application renders nothing.

Example 3

Let's consider this:

{
  path: 'users',
  children: [
    {
      path: 'permissions',
      component: UsersPermissionsComponent,
    },
    {
      path: ':userID',
      component: UserComponent,
      pathMatch: 'full',
      children: [
        {
          path: 'comments',
          component: UserCommentsComponent,
        },
        {
          path: 'articles',
          component: UserArticlesComponent,
        },
      ],
    },
  ],
}

In this case:

  1. 'users' === 'users - the segment matches, but james/articles still remains unmatched. Let's look for children.
  • 'permissions' !== 'james' - skip.
  • :userID' can only match a single segment, which would be james. However, it's a pathMatch: full route, and it must match james/articles (the whole remaining URL). It's not able to do that and thus it's not a match (so we skip this branch)!
  1. Again, we failed to find any match for the URL and the application renders nothing.

As you may have noticed, a pathMatch: full configuration is basically saying this:

Ignore my children and only match me. If I am not able to match all of the remaining URL segments myself, then move on.

Redirects

Any Route which has defined a redirectTo will be matched against the target URL according to the same principles. The only difference here is that the redirect is applied as soon as a segment matches. This means that if a redirecting route is using the default prefix strategy, a partial match is enough to cause a redirect. Here's a good example:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'not-found',
    component: NotFoundComponent,
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    redirectTo: 'not-found',
  },
  {
    path: 'users/:userID',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'comments',
        component: UserCommentsComponent,
      },
      {
        path: 'articles',
        component: UserArticlesComponent,
      },
    ],
  },
];

For our initial URL (/users/james/articles), here's what would happen:

  1. 'not-found' !== 'users' - skip it.
  2. 'users' === 'users' - we have a match.
  3. This match has a redirectTo: 'not-found', which is applied immediately.
  4. The target URL changes to not-found.
  5. The router begins matching again and finds a match for not-found right away. The application renders NotFoundComponent.

Now consider what would happen if the users route also had pathMatch: full:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'not-found',
    component: NotFoundComponent,
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    pathMatch: 'full',
    redirectTo: 'not-found',
  },
  {
    path: 'users/:userID',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'comments',
        component: UserCommentsComponent,
      },
      {
        path: 'articles',
        component: UserArticlesComponent,
      },
    ],
  },
];
  1. 'not-found' !== 'users' - skip it.
  2. users would match the first segment of the URL, but the route configuration requires a full match, thus skip it.
  3. 'users/:userID' matches users/james. articles is still not matched but this route has children.
  • We find a match for articles in the children. The whole URL is now matched and the application renders UserArticlesComponent.

Empty path (path: '')

The empty path is a bit of a special case because it can match any segment without "consuming" it (so it's children would have to match that segment again). Consider this example:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '',
    children: [
      {
        path: 'users',
        component: BadUsersComponent,
      }
    ]
  },
  {
    path: 'users',
    component: GoodUsersComponent,
  },
];

Let's say we are trying to access /users:

  • path: '' will always match, thus the route matches. However, the whole URL has not been matched - we still need to match users!
  • We can see that there is a child users, which matches the remaining (and only!) segment and we have a full match. The application renders BadUsersComponent.

Now back to the original question

The OP used this router configuration:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: 'welcome',
    component: WelcomeComponent,
  },
  {
    path: '',
    redirectTo: 'welcome',
    pathMatch: 'full',
  },
  {
    path: '**',
    redirectTo: 'welcome',
    pathMatch: 'full',
  },
];

If we are navigating to the root URL (/), here's how the router would resolve that:

  1. welcome does not match an empty segment, so skip it.
  2. path: '' matches the empty segment. It has a pathMatch: 'full', which is also satisfied as we have matched the whole URL (it had a single empty segment).
  3. A redirect to welcome happens and the application renders WelcomeComponent.

What if there was no pathMatch: 'full'?

Actually, one would expect the whole thing to behave exactly the same. However, Angular explicitly prevents such a configuration ({ path: '', redirectTo: 'welcome' }) because if you put this Route above welcome, it would theoretically create an endless loop of redirects. So Angular just throws an error, which is why the application would not work at all! (https://angular.io/api/router/Route#pathMatch)

Actually, this does not make too much sense to me because Angular also has implemented a protection against such endless redirects - it only runs a single redirect per routing level! This would stop all further redirects (as you'll see in the example below).

What about path: '**'?

path: '**' will match absolutely anything (af/frewf/321532152/fsa is a match) with or without a pathMatch: 'full'.

Also, since it matches everything, the root path is also included, which makes { path: '', redirectTo: 'welcome' } completely redundant in this setup.

Funnily enough, it is perfectly fine to have this configuration:

const routes: Routes = [
  {
    path: '**',
    redirectTo: 'welcome'
  },
  {
    path: 'welcome',
    component: WelcomeComponent,
  },
];

If we navigate to /welcome, path: '**' will be a match and a redirect to welcome will happen. Theoretically this should kick off an endless loop of redirects but Angular stops that immediately (because of the protection I mentioned earlier) and the whole thing works just fine.

Perform Button click event when user press Enter key in Textbox

You can try:

In HTML:

    <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" onKeyDown="submitButton(event)"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click" />

And javascript:

function submitButton(event) {
        if (event.which == 13) {
            $('#Button1').trigger('click');
        }
    }

Code behind:

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
        //load data and fill to gridview

How to remove a branch locally?

As far I can understand the original problem, you added commits to local master by mistake and did not push that changes yet. Now you want to cancel your changes and hope to delete your local changes and to create a new master branch from the remote one.

You can just reset your changes and reload master from remote server:

git reset --hard origin/master

Convert this string to datetime

The Problem is with your code formatting,

inorder to use strtotime() You should replace '06/Oct/2011:19:00:02' with 06/10/2011 19:00:02 and date('d/M/Y:H:i:s', $date); with date('d/M/Y H:i:s', $date);. Note the spaces in between.

So the final code looks like this

$s = '06/10/2011 19:00:02';
$date = strtotime($s);
echo date('d/M/Y H:i:s', $date);

What is the SQL command to return the field names of a table?

You can use the provided system views to do this:

eg

select * from INFORMATION_SCHEMA.COLUMNS
where table_name = '[table name]'

alternatively, you can use the system proc sp_help

eg

sp_help '[table name]'

What is the main difference between PATCH and PUT request?

HTTP verbs are probably one of the most cryptic things about the HTTP protocol. They exist, and there are many of them, but why do they exist?

Rails seems to want to support many verbs and add some verbs that aren't supported by web browsers natively.

Here's an exhaustive list of http verbs: http://annevankesteren.nl/2007/10/http-methods

There the HTTP patch from the official RFC: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/rfc5789/?include_text=1

The PATCH method requests that a set of changes described in the request entity be applied to the resource identified by the Request- URI. The set of changes is represented in a format called a "patch document" identified by a media type. If the Request-URI does not point to an existing resource, the server MAY create a new resource, depending on the patch document type (whether it can logically modify a null resource) and permissions, etc.

The difference between the PUT and PATCH requests is reflected in the way the server processes the enclosed entity to modify the resource identified by the Request-URI. In a PUT request, the enclosed entity is considered to be a modified version of the resource stored on the origin server, and the client is requesting that the stored version be replaced. With PATCH, however, the enclosed entity contains a set of instructions describing how a resource currently residing on the origin server should be modified to produce a new version. The PATCH method affects the resource identified by the Request-URI, and it also MAY have side effects on other resources; i.e., new resources may be created, or existing ones modified, by the application of a PATCH.

As far as I know, the PATCH verb is not used as it is in rails applications... As I understand this, the RFC patch verb should be used to send patch instructions like when you do a diff between two files. Instead of sending the whole entity again, you send a patch that could be much smaller than resending the whole entity.

Imagine you want to edit a huge file. You edit 3 lines. Instead of sending the file back, you just have to send the diff. On the plus side, sending a patch request could be used to merge files asynchronously. A version control system could potentially use the PATCH verb to update code remotely.

One other possible use case is somewhat related to NoSQL databases, it is possible to store documents. Let say we use a JSON structure to send back and forth data from the server to the client. If we wanted to delete a field, we could use a syntax similar to the one in mongodb for $unset. Actually, the method used in mongodb to update documents could be probably used to handle json patches.

Taking this example:

db.products.update(
   { sku: "unknown" },
   { $unset: { quantity: "", instock: "" } }
)

We could have something like this:

PATCH /products?sku=unknown
{ "$unset": { "quantity": "", "instock": "" } }

Last, but not least, people can say whatever they want about HTTP verbs. There is only one truth, and the truth is in the RFCs.

Getting the IP Address of a Remote Socket Endpoint

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.sockets.socket.remoteendpoint.aspx

You can then call the IPEndPoint..::.Address method to retrieve the remote IPAddress, and the IPEndPoint..::.Port method to retrieve the remote port number.

More from the link (fixed up alot heh):

Socket s;

IPEndPoint remoteIpEndPoint = s.RemoteEndPoint as IPEndPoint;
IPEndPoint localIpEndPoint = s.LocalEndPoint as IPEndPoint;

if (remoteIpEndPoint != null)
{
    // Using the RemoteEndPoint property.
    Console.WriteLine("I am connected to " + remoteIpEndPoint.Address + "on port number " + remoteIpEndPoint.Port);
}

if (localIpEndPoint != null)
{
    // Using the LocalEndPoint property.
    Console.WriteLine("My local IpAddress is :" + localIpEndPoint.Address + "I am connected on port number " + localIpEndPoint.Port);
}

Stopword removal with NLTK

@alvas has a good answer. But again it depends on the nature of the task, for example in your application you want to consider all conjunction e.g. and, or, but, if, while and all determiner e.g. the, a, some, most, every, no as stop words considering all others parts of speech as legitimate, then you might want to look into this solution which use Part-of-Speech Tagset to discard words, Check table 5.1:

import nltk

STOP_TYPES = ['DET', 'CNJ']

text = "some data here "
tokens = nltk.pos_tag(nltk.word_tokenize(text))
good_words = [w for w, wtype in tokens if wtype not in STOP_TYPES]

Purge Kafka Topic

Could not add as comment because of size: Not sure if this is true, besides updating retention.ms and retention.bytes, but I noticed topic cleanup policy should be "delete" (default), if "compact", it is going to hold on to messages longer, i.e., if it is "compact", you have to specify delete.retention.ms also.

./bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --entity-name test-topic-3-100 --entity-type topics
Configs for topics:test-topic-3-100 are retention.ms=1000,delete.retention.ms=10000,cleanup.policy=delete,retention.bytes=1

Also had to monitor earliest/latest offsets should be same to confirm this successfully happened, can also check the du -h /tmp/kafka-logs/test-topic-3-100-*

./bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list "BROKER:9095" --topic test-topic-3-100 --time -1 | awk -F ":" '{sum += $3} END {print sum}' 26599762

./bin/kafka-run-class.sh kafka.tools.GetOffsetShell --broker-list "BROKER:9095" --topic test-topic-3-100 --time -2 | awk -F ":" '{sum += $3} END {print sum}' 26599762

The other problem is, you have to get current config first so you remember to revert after deletion is successful: ./bin/kafka-configs.sh --zookeeper localhost:2181 --describe --entity-name test-topic-3-100 --entity-type topics

Increment a Integer's int value?

As Grodriguez says, Integer objects are immutable. The problem here is that you're trying to increment the int value of the player ID rather than the ID itself. In Java 5+, you can just write playerID++.

As a side note, never ever call Integer's constructor. Take advantage of autoboxing by just assigning ints to Integers directly, like Integer foo = 5. This will use Integer.valueOf(int) transparently, which is superior to the constructor because it doesn't always have to create a new object.

AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'model'

I realized that by looking at the stack trace it was trying to load my own script in place of another module called the same way,i.e., my script was called random.py and when a module i used was trying to import the "random" package, it was loading my script causing a circular reference and so i renamed it and deleted a .pyc file it had created from the working folder and things worked just fine.

How to set Spinner default value to null?

In my case, although size '2' is displayed in the spinner, nothing happens till some selection is done!

I have an xml file (data_sizes.xml) which lists all the spinner values.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
    <string-array name="chunks">
        <item>2</item>
        <item>4</item>
        <item>8</item>
        <item>16</item>
        <item>32</item>
    </string-array>
</resources>    

In main.xml file: Spinner element

<Spinner android:id="@+id/spinnerSize"  
android:layout_marginLeft="50px"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"                  
android:drawSelectorOnTop="true"
android:layout_marginTop="5dip"
android:prompt="@string/SelectSize"
android:layout_marginRight="30px"
android:layout_height="35px" /> 

Then in my java code, I added:

In my activity: Declaration

Spinner spinnerSize;
ArrayAdapter adapter;

In a public void function - initControls(): Definition

spinnerSize = (Spinner)findViewById(R.id.spinnerSize);
adapter = ArrayAdapter.createFromResource(this, R.array.chunks, android.R.layout.simple_spinner_item);
adapter.setDropDownViewResource(android.R.layout.simple_spinner_dropdown_item);
spinnerSize.setAdapter(adapter);
spinnerSize.setOnItemSelectedListener(new MyOnItemSelectedListener());

My spinner listener:

/* Spinner Listener */

class MyOnItemSelectedListener implements OnItemSelectedListener {

    public void onItemSelected(AdapterView<?> parent,
        View view, int pos, long id) {
        chunkSize = new Integer(parent.getItemAtPosition(pos).toString()).intValue();
    }
    public void onNothingSelected(AdapterView<?> parent) {
      // Dummy
    }
}

How to assert two list contain the same elements in Python?

As of Python 3.2 unittest.TestCase.assertItemsEqual(doc) has been replaced by unittest.TestCase.assertCountEqual(doc) which does exactly what you are looking for, as you can read from the python standard library documentation. The method is somewhat misleadingly named but it does exactly what you are looking for.

a and b have the same elements in the same number, regardless of their order

Here a simple example which compares two lists having the same elements but in a different order.

  • using assertCountEqual the test will succeed
  • using assertListEqual the test will fail due to the order difference of the two lists

Here a little example script.

import unittest


class TestListElements(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        self.expected = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz']
        self.result = ['baz', 'foo', 'bar']

    def test_count_eq(self):
        """Will succeed"""
        self.assertCountEqual(self.result, self.expected)

    def test_list_eq(self):
        """Will fail"""
        self.assertListEqual(self.result, self.expected)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    unittest.main()

Side Note : Please make sure that the elements in the lists you are comparing are sortable.

SpringApplication.run main method

You need to run Application.run() because this method starts whole Spring Framework. Code below integrates your main() with Spring Boot.

Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

ReconTool.java

@Component
public class ReconTool implements CommandLineRunner {

    @Override
    public void run(String... args) throws Exception {
        main(args);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Recon Logic
    }
}

Why not SpringApplication.run(ReconTool.class, args)

Because this way spring is not fully configured (no component scan etc.). Only bean defined in run() is created (ReconTool).

How to print the value of a Tensor object in TensorFlow?

tf.Print is now deprecated, here's how to use tf.print (lowercase p) instead.

While running a session is a good option, it is not always the way to go. For instance, you may want to print some tensor in a particular session.

The new print method returns a print operation which has no output tensors:

print_op = tf.print(tensor_to_print)

Since it has no outputs, you can't insert it in a graph the same way as you could with tf.Print. Instead, you can you can add it to control dependencies in your session in order to make it print.

sess = tf.compat.v1.Session()
with sess.as_default():
  tensor_to_print = tf.range(10)
  print_op = tf.print(tensor_to_print)
with tf.control_dependencies([print_op]):
  tripled_tensor = tensor_to_print * 3
sess.run(tripled_tensor)

Sometimes, in a larger graph, maybe created partly in subfunctions, it is cumbersome to propagate the print_op to the session call. Then, tf.tuple can be used to couple the print operation with another operation, which will then run with that operation whichever session executes the code. Here's how that is done:

print_op = tf.print(tensor_to_print)
some_tensor_list = tf.tuple([some_tensor], control_inputs=[print_op])
# Use some_tensor_list[0] instead of any_tensor below.

Class type check in TypeScript

4.19.4 The instanceof operator

The instanceof operator requires the left operand to be of type Any, an object type, or a type parameter type, and the right operand to be of type Any or a subtype of the 'Function' interface type. The result is always of the Boolean primitive type.

So you could use

mySprite instanceof Sprite;

Note that this operator is also in ActionScript but it shouldn't be used there anymore:

The is operator, which is new for ActionScript 3.0, allows you to test whether a variable or expression is a member of a given data type. In previous versions of ActionScript, the instanceof operator provided this functionality, but in ActionScript 3.0 the instanceof operator should not be used to test for data type membership. The is operator should be used instead of the instanceof operator for manual type checking, because the expression x instanceof y merely checks the prototype chain of x for the existence of y (and in ActionScript 3.0, the prototype chain does not provide a complete picture of the inheritance hierarchy).

TypeScript's instanceof shares the same problems. As it is a language which is still in its development I recommend you to state a proposal of such facility.

How organize uploaded media in WP?

As of October 2015, WP 4.3.1 I have found only two plugins actually affecting image locations as in “folders & subfolders”:

  • Custom Upload Dir, but as the name says, just on upload. You can work from your %post_slug% or %categories%, upload your images in the context of these post/pages, and this tool will form subfolders from it. Which is great, SEO-wise.

    Or you just even ignore all that and mandate under “Build a path template” i.e. travels/france/paris-at-night to upload to that subdir of your WP-Uploads folder. (Of course you'd have to keep changing for the uploads to follow. Limiting my overall faith, that this is a stable long-term tool, despite 10.000+ active installs).

  • Media File Manager allows to move already uploaded images and changes the paths in posts and pages using them accordingly. Its interface reminds of “Norton Commander 1.0” but it does the job. (Except for folder renames and deletes. So if you want to rename, better move images to a newly namend folder, then manually deleting the old.)

All of the following do NOT do the job:

  • WP Media Folder is NOT changing actual direcory location, thus not actually changing paths to your images thus also not affecting image URLs. Despite its name, Folder is just their visualisation of yet-another-taxonomy. I invested $19 to learn that.

  • Enhance Media Library is big, free and very popular (wordpress counts 40.000 installs) but is also not changing physical location and (thus) URLs. ? Thus the accepted answer is in my opinion wrong.

  • Media File Manager advanced appears gone and is deemed dangerous!

Access to file download dialog in Firefox

CSS transition with visibility not working

Visibility is an animatable property according to the spec, but transitions on visibility do not work gradually, as one might expect. Instead transitions on visibility delay hiding an element. On the other hand making an element visible works immediately. This is as it is defined by the spec (in the case of the default timing function) and as it is implemented in the browsers.

This also is a useful behavior, since in fact one can imagine various visual effects to hide an element. Fading out an element is just one kind of visual effect that is specified using opacity. Other visual effects might move away the element using e.g. the transform property, also see http://taccgl.org/blog/css-transition-visibility.html

It is often useful to combine the opacity transition with a visibility transition! Although opacity appears to do the right thing, fully transparent elements (with opacity:0) still receive mouse events. So e.g. links on an element that was faded out with an opacity transition alone, still respond to clicks (although not visible) and links behind the faded element do not work (although being visible through the faded element). See http://taccgl.org/blog/css-transition-opacity-for-fade-effects.html.

This strange behavior can be avoided by just using both transitions, the transition on visibility and the transition on opacity. Thereby the visibility property is used to disable mouse events for the element while opacity is used for the visual effect. However care must be taken not to hide the element while the visual effect is playing, which would otherwise not be visible. Here the special semantics of the visibility transition becomes handy. When hiding an element the element stays visible while playing the visual effect and is hidden afterwards. On the other hand when revealing an element, the visibility transition makes the element visible immediately, i.e. before playing the visual effect.

Downloading a large file using curl

I use this handy function:

By downloading it with a 4094 byte step it will not full your memory

function download($file_source, $file_target) {
    $rh = fopen($file_source, 'rb');
    $wh = fopen($file_target, 'w+b');
    if (!$rh || !$wh) {
        return false;
    }

    while (!feof($rh)) {
        if (fwrite($wh, fread($rh, 4096)) === FALSE) {
            return false;
        }
        echo ' ';
        flush();
    }

    fclose($rh);
    fclose($wh);

    return true;
}

Usage:

     $result = download('http://url','path/local/file');

You can then check if everything is ok with:

     if (!$result)
         throw new Exception('Download error...');

Using form input to access camera and immediately upload photos using web app

var myInput = document.getElementById('myFileInput');

function sendPic() {
    var file = myInput.files[0];

    // Send file here either by adding it to a `FormData` object 
    // and sending that via XHR, or by simply passing the file into 
    // the `send` method of an XHR instance.
}

myInput.addEventListener('change', sendPic, false);

Linking dll in Visual Studio

You don't add or link directly against a DLL, you link against the LIB produced by the DLL.

A LIB provides symbols and other necessary data to either include a library in your code (static linking) or refer to the DLL (dynamic linking).

To link against a LIB, you need to add it to the project Properties -> Linker -> Input -> Additional Dependencies list. All LIB files here will be used in linking. You can also use a pragma like so:

#pragma comment(lib, "dll.lib")

With static linking, the code is included in your executable and there are no runtime dependencies. Dynamic linking requires a DLL with matching name and symbols be available within the search path (which is not just the path or system directory).

Monad in plain English? (For the OOP programmer with no FP background)

Whether a monad has a "natural" interpretation in OO depends on the monad. In a language like Java, you can translate the maybe monad to the language of checking for null pointers, so that computations that fail (i.e., produce Nothing in Haskell) emit null pointers as results. You can translate the state monad into the language generated by creating a mutable variable and methods to change its state.

A monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors.

The information that sentence puts together is very deep. And you work in a monad with any imperative language. A monad is a "sequenced" domain specific language. It satisfies certain interesting properties, which taken together make a monad a mathematical model of "imperative programming". Haskell makes it easy to define small (or large) imperative languages, which can be combined in a variety of ways.

As an OO programmer, you use your language's class hierarchy to organize the kinds of functions or procedures that can be called in a context, what you call an object. A monad is also an abstraction on this idea, insofar as different monads can be combined in arbitrary ways, effectively "importing" all of the sub-monad's methods into the scope.

Architecturally, one then uses type signatures to explicitly express which contexts may be used for computing a value.

One can use monad transformers for this purpose, and there is a high quality collection of all of the "standard" monads:

  • Lists (non-deterministic computations, by treating a list as a domain)
  • Maybe (computations that can fail, but for which reporting is unimportant)
  • Error (computations that can fail and require exception handling
  • Reader (computations that can be represented by compositions of plain Haskell functions)
  • Writer (computations with sequential "rendering"/"logging" (to strings, html etc)
  • Cont (continuations)
  • IO (computations that depend on the underlying computer system)
  • State (computations whose context contains a modifiable value)

with corresponding monad transformers and type classes. Type classes allow a complementary approach to combining monads by unifying their interfaces, so that concrete monads can implement a standard interface for the monad "kind". For example, the module Control.Monad.State contains a class MonadState s m, and (State s) is an instance of the form

instance MonadState s (State s) where
    put = ...
    get = ...

The long story is that a monad is a functor which attaches "context" to a value, which has a way to inject a value into the monad, and which has a way to evaluate values with respect to the context attached to it, at least in a restricted way.

So:

return :: a -> m a

is a function which injects a value of type a into a monad "action" of type m a.

(>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b

is a function which takes a monad action, evaluates its result, and applies a function to the result. The neat thing about (>>=) is that the result is in the same monad. In other words, in m >>= f, (>>=) pulls the result out of m, and binds it to f, so that the result is in the monad. (Alternatively, we can say that (>>=) pulls f into m and applies it to the result.) As a consequence, if we have f :: a -> m b, and g :: b -> m c, we can "sequence" actions:

m >>= f >>= g

Or, using "do notation"

do x <- m
   y <- f x
   g y

The type for (>>) might be illuminating. It is

(>>) :: m a -> m b -> m b

It corresponds to the (;) operator in procedural languages like C. It allows do notation like:

m = do x <- someQuery
       someAction x
       theNextAction
       andSoOn

In mathematical and philosopical logic, we have frames and models, which are "naturally" modelled with monadism. An interpretation is a function which looks into the model's domain and computes the truth value (or generalizations) of a proposition (or formula, under generalizations). In a modal logic for necessity, we might say that a proposition is necessary if it is true in "every possible world" -- if it is true with respect to every admissible domain. This means that a model in a language for a proposition can be reified as a model whose domain consists of collection of distinct models (one corresponding to each possible world). Every monad has a method named "join" which flattens layers, which implies that every monad action whose result is a monad action can be embedded in the monad.

join :: m (m a) -> m a

More importantly, it means that the monad is closed under the "layer stacking" operation. This is how monad transformers work: they combine monads by providing "join-like" methods for types like

newtype MaybeT m a = MaybeT { runMaybeT :: m (Maybe a) }

so that we can transform an action in (MaybeT m) into an action in m, effectively collapsing layers. In this case, runMaybeT :: MaybeT m a -> m (Maybe a) is our join-like method. (MaybeT m) is a monad, and MaybeT :: m (Maybe a) -> MaybeT m a is effectively a constructor for a new type of monad action in m.

A free monad for a functor is the monad generated by stacking f, with the implication that every sequence of constructors for f is an element of the free monad (or, more exactly, something with the same shape as the tree of sequences of constructors for f). Free monads are a useful technique for constructing flexible monads with a minimal amount of boiler-plate. In a Haskell program, I might use free monads to define simple monads for "high level system programming" to help maintain type safety (I'm just using types and their declarations. Implementations are straight-forward with the use of combinators):

data RandomF r a = GetRandom (r -> a) deriving Functor
type Random r a = Free (RandomF r) a


type RandomT m a = Random (m a) (m a) -- model randomness in a monad by computing random monad elements.
getRandom     :: Random r r
runRandomIO   :: Random r a -> IO a (use some kind of IO-based backend to run)
runRandomIO'  :: Random r a -> IO a (use some other kind of IO-based backend)
runRandomList :: Random r a -> [a]  (some kind of list-based backend (for pseudo-randoms))

Monadism is the underlying architecture for what you might call the "interpreter" or "command" pattern, abstracted to its clearest form, since every monadic computation must be "run", at least trivially. (The runtime system runs the IO monad for us, and is the entry point to any Haskell program. IO "drives" the rest of the computations, by running IO actions in order).

The type for join is also where we get the statement that a monad is a monoid in the category of endofunctors. Join is typically more important for theoretical purposes, in virtue of its type. But understanding the type means understanding monads. Join and monad transformer's join-like types are effectively compositions of endofunctors, in the sense of function composition. To put it in a Haskell-like pseudo-language,

Foo :: m (m a) <-> (m . m) a

How to correctly link php-fpm and Nginx Docker containers?

As pointed out before, the problem was that the files were not visible by the fpm container. However to share data among containers the recommended pattern is using data-only containers (as explained in this article).

Long story short: create a container that just holds your data, share it with a volume, and link this volume in your apps with volumes_from.

Using compose (1.6.2 in my machine), the docker-compose.yml file would read:

version: "2"
services:
  nginx:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: nginx/Dockerfile
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    links:
      - fpm
    volumes_from:
      - data
  fpm:
    image: php:fpm
    volumes_from:
      - data
  data:
    build:
      context: .
      dockerfile: data/Dockerfile
    volumes:
      - /var/www/html

Note that data publishes a volume that is linked to the nginx and fpm services. Then the Dockerfile for the data service, that contains your source code:

FROM busybox

# content
ADD path/to/source /var/www/html

And the Dockerfile for nginx, that just replaces the default config:

FROM nginx

# config
ADD config/default.conf /etc/nginx/conf.d

For the sake of completion, here's the config file required for the example to work:

server {
    listen 0.0.0.0:80;

    root /var/www/html;

    location / {
        index index.php index.html;
    }

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include fastcgi_params;
        fastcgi_pass fpm:9000;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root/$fastcgi_script_name;
    }
}

which just tells nginx to use the shared volume as document root, and sets the right config for nginx to be able to communicate with the fpm container (i.e.: the right HOST:PORT, which is fpm:9000 thanks to the hostnames defined by compose, and the SCRIPT_FILENAME).

Detecting when user scrolls to bottom of div with jQuery

I found a solution that when you scroll your window and end of a div shown from bottom gives you an alert.

$(window).bind('scroll', function() {
    if($(window).scrollTop() >= $('.posts').offset().top + $('.posts').outerHeight() - window.innerHeight) {
        alert('end reached');
    }
});

In this example if you scroll down when div (.posts) finish its give you an alert.

How do I write a batch script that copies one directory to another, replaces old files?

In your batch file do this

set source=C:\Users\Habib\test
set destination=C:\Users\Habib\testdest\
xcopy %source% %destination% /y

If you want to copy the sub directories including empty directories then do:

xcopy %source% %destination% /E /y

If you only want to copy sub directories and not empty directories then use /s like:

xcopy %source% %destination% /s /y

How to export dataGridView data Instantly to Excel on button click?

If your DataGridView's RightToLeft set to Yes then your data copy reversely. So you should use the below code to copy the data correctly.

private void copyAlltoClipboard()
{
    dgvItems.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.No;
    dgvItems.SelectAll();
    DataObject dataObj = dgvItems.GetClipboardContent();
    if (dataObj != null)
        Clipboard.SetDataObject(dataObj);
    dgvItems.RightToLeft = RightToLeft.Yes;
}

NUnit vs. MbUnit vs. MSTest vs. xUnit.net

I wouldn't go with MSTest. Although it's probably the most future proof of the frameworks with Microsoft behind it's not the most flexible solution. It won't run stand alone without some hacks. So running it on a build server other than TFS without installing Visual Studio is hard. The visual studio test-runner is actually slower than Testdriven.Net + any of the other frameworks. And because the releases of this framework are tied to releases of Visual Studio there are less updates and if you have to work with an older VS you're tied to an older MSTest.

I don't think it matters a lot which of the other frameworks you use. It's really easy to switch from one to another.

I personally use XUnit.Net or NUnit depending on the preference of my coworkers. NUnit is the most standard. XUnit.Net is the leanest framework.

How to select distinct query using symfony2 doctrine query builder?

If you use the "select()" statement, you can do this:

    ->setParameter('type', 'blogarticle')
    ->getQuery();

$categories = $category->getResult();

Creating a JSON response using Django and Python

from django.http import HttpResponse
import json

class JsonResponse(HttpResponse):
    def __init__(self, content={}, mimetype=None, status=None,

        super(JsonResponse, self).__init__(json.dumps(content), mimetype=mimetype,
                                           status=status, content_type=content_type)

And in the view:

resp_data = {'my_key': 'my value',}
return JsonResponse(resp_data)

Constraint Layout Vertical Align Center

May be i did not fully understand the problem, but, centering all view inside a ConstraintLayout seems very simple. This is what I used:

<android.support.constraint.ConstraintLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_gravity="center">

enter image description here

Last two lines did the trick!

Where can I read the Console output in Visual Studio 2015

in the "Ouput Window". you can usually do CTRL-ALT-O to make it visible. Or through menus using View->Output.

PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol when expecting one of the following:

       dbms_output.put_line(var_number||' is greater than 100');
    elsif var_number < 100 then
       dbms_output.put_line(var_number||' is less than 100');
    else

    end if;
end;

TypeError: Missing 1 required positional argument: 'self'

You can call the method like pump.getPumps(). By adding @classmethod decorator on the method. A class method receives the class as the implicit first argument, just like an instance method receives the instance.

class Pump:

def __init__(self):
    print ("init") # never prints

@classmethod
def getPumps(cls):
            # Open database connection
            # some stuff here that never gets executed because of error

So, simply call Pump.getPumps() .

In java, it is termed as static method.

Having Django serve downloadable files

Another project to have a look at: http://readthedocs.org/docs/django-private-files/en/latest/usage.html Looks promissing, haven't tested it myself yet tho.

Basically the project abstracts the mod_xsendfile configuration and allows you to do things like:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User
from private_files import PrivateFileField

def is_owner(request, instance):
    return (not request.user.is_anonymous()) and request.user.is_authenticated and
                   instance.owner.pk = request.user.pk

class FileSubmission(models.Model):
    description = models.CharField("description", max_length = 200)
        owner = models.ForeignKey(User)
    uploaded_file = PrivateFileField("file", upload_to = 'uploads', condition = is_owner)

How to Detect cause of 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable error and handle it?

There is of course some apache log files. Search in your apache configuration files for 'Log' keyword, you'll certainly find plenty of them. Depending on your OS and installation places may vary (in a Typical Linux server it would be /var/log/apache2/[access|error].log).

Having a 503 error in Apache usually means the proxied page/service is not available. I assume you're using tomcat and that means tomcat is either not responding to apache (timeout?) or not even available (down? crashed?). So chances are that it's a configuration error in the way to connect apache and tomcat or an application inside tomcat that is not even sending a response for apache.

Sometimes, in production servers, it can as well be that you get too much traffic for the tomcat server, apache handle more request than the proxyied service (tomcat) can accept so the backend became unavailable.

How to convert a date to milliseconds

tl;dr

LocalDateTime.parse(           // Parse into an object representing a date with a time-of-day but without time zone and without offset-from-UTC.
    "2014/10/29 18:10:45"      // Convert input string to comply with standard ISO 8601 format.
    .replace( " " , "T" )      // Replace SPACE in the middle with a `T`.
    .replace( "/" , "-" )      // Replace SLASH in the middle with a `-`.
)
.atZone(                       // Apply a time zone to provide the context needed to determine an actual moment.
    ZoneId.of( "Europe/Oslo" ) // Specify the time zone you are certain was intended for that input.
)                              // Returns a `ZonedDateTime` object.
.toInstant()                   // Adjust into UTC.
.toEpochMilli()                // Get the number of milliseconds since first moment of 1970 in UTC, 1970-01-01T00:00Z.

1414602645000

Time Zone

The accepted answer is correct, except that it ignores the crucial issue of time zone. Is your input string 6:10 PM in Paris or Montréal? Or UTC?

Use a proper time zone name. Usually a continent plus city/region. For example, "Europe/Oslo". Avoid the 3 or 4 letter codes which are neither standardized nor unique.

java.time

The modern approach uses the java.time classes.

Alter your input to conform with the ISO 8601 standard. Replace the SPACE in the middle with a T. And replace the slash characters with hyphens. The java.time classes use these standard formats by default when parsing/generating strings. So no need to specify a formatting pattern.

String input = "2014/10/29 18:10:45".replace( " " , "T" ).replace( "/" , "-" ) ;
LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse( input ) ;

A LocalDateTime, like your input string, lacks any concept of time zone or offset-from-UTC. Without the context of a zone/offset, a LocalDateTime has no real meaning. Is it 6:10 PM in India, Europe, or Canada? Each of those places experience 6:10 PM at different moments, at different points on the timeline. So you must specify which you have in mind if you want to determine a specific point on the timeline.

ZoneId z = ZoneId.of( "Europe/Oslo" ) ;
ZonedDateTime zdt = ldt.atZone( z ) ;  

Now we have a specific moment, in that ZonedDateTime. Convert to UTC by extracting a Instant. The Instant class represents a moment on the timeline in UTC with a resolution of nanoseconds (up to nine (9) digits of a decimal fraction).

Instant instant = zdt.toInstant() ;

Now we can get your desired count of milliseconds since the epoch reference of first moment of 1970 in UTC, 1970-01-01T00:00Z.

long millisSinceEpoch = instant.toEpochMilli() ; 

Be aware of possible data loss. The Instant object is capable of carrying microseconds or nanoseconds, finer than milliseconds. That finer fractional part of a second will be ignored when getting a count of milliseconds.


About java.time

The java.time framework is built into Java 8 and later. These classes supplant the troublesome old legacy date-time classes such as java.util.Date, Calendar, & SimpleDateFormat.

The Joda-Time project, now in maintenance mode, advises migration to the java.time classes.

To learn more, see the Oracle Tutorial. And search Stack Overflow for many examples and explanations. Specification is JSR 310.

You may exchange java.time objects directly with your database. Use a JDBC driver compliant with JDBC 4.2 or later. No need for strings, no need for java.sql.* classes.

Where to obtain the java.time classes?

The ThreeTen-Extra project extends java.time with additional classes. This project is a proving ground for possible future additions to java.time. You may find some useful classes here such as Interval, YearWeek, YearQuarter, and more.


Joda-Time

Update: The Joda-Time project is now in maintenance mode, with the team advising migration to the java.time classes. I will leave this section intact for history.

Below is the same kind of code but using the Joda-Time 2.5 library and handling time zone.

The java.util.Date, .Calendar, and .SimpleDateFormat classes are notoriously troublesome, confusing, and flawed. Avoid them. Use either Joda-Time or the java.time package (inspired by Joda-Time) built into Java 8.

ISO 8601

Your string is almost in ISO 8601 format. The slashes need to be hyphens and the SPACE in middle should be replaced with a T. If we tweak that, then the resulting string can be fed directly into constructor without bothering to specify a formatter. Joda-Time uses ISO 8701 formats as it's defaults for parsing and generating strings.

Example Code

String inputRaw = "2014/10/29 18:10:45";
String input = inputRaw.replace( "/", "-" ).replace( " ", "T" );
DateTimeZone zone = DateTimeZone.forID( "Europe/Oslo" ); // Or DateTimeZone.UTC
DateTime dateTime = new DateTime( input, zone );
long millisecondsSinceUnixEpoch = dateTime.getMillis();

Inserting data into a temporary table

I have provided two approaches to solve the same issue,

Solution 1: This approach includes 2 steps, first create a temporary table with specified data type, next insert the value from the existing data table.

CREATE TABLE #TempStudent(tempID  int, tempName  varchar(MAX) )
INSERT INTO #TempStudent(tempID, tempName) SELECT id, studName FROM students where id =1

SELECT * FROM #TempStudent

Solution 2: This approach is simple, where you can directly insert the values to temporary table, where automatically the system take care of creating the temp table with the same data type of original table.

SELECT id, studName  INTO #TempStudent FROM students where id =1

SELECT * FROM #TempStudent

MySQL foreach alternative for procedure

Here's the mysql reference for cursors. So I'm guessing it's something like this:

  DECLARE done INT DEFAULT 0;
  DECLARE products_id INT;
  DECLARE result varchar(4000);
  DECLARE cur1 CURSOR FOR SELECT products_id FROM sets_products WHERE set_id = 1;
  DECLARE CONTINUE HANDLER FOR NOT FOUND SET done = 1;

  OPEN cur1;

  REPEAT
    FETCH cur1 INTO products_id;
    IF NOT done THEN
      CALL generate_parameter_list(@product_id, @result);
      SET param = param + "," + result; -- not sure on this syntax
    END IF;
  UNTIL done END REPEAT;

  CLOSE cur1;

  -- now trim off the trailing , if desired

How to concatenate columns in a Postgres SELECT?

it is better to use CONCAT function in PostgreSQL for concatenation

eg : select CONCAT(first_name,last_name) from person where pid = 136

if you are using column_a || ' ' || column_b for concatenation for 2 column , if any of the value in column_a or column_b is null query will return null value. which may not be preferred in all cases.. so instead of this

||

use

CONCAT

it will return relevant value if either of them have value

What is the difference between JSF, Servlet and JSP?

There are also situations where you can favor JSP over JSF. The application nature should be the deciding factor to choose the technology.

If you have a rich GUI interaction and lot of Java scripting needed then favor JSF. Basically if your GUI app architecture is like Component oriented & even driven like Swing then JSF is the best.

If the application is just a plain form submitting, not much of GUI interaction needed, then JSP could do well if learning a new tech is an overhead and also complex framework is unnecessary.

ansible: lineinfile for several lines?

Here is a noise-free version of the solution which is to use with_items:

- name: add lines
  lineinfile: 
    dest: fruits.txt
    line: '{{ item }}'
  with_items:
    - 'Orange'
    - 'Apple'
    - 'Banana' 

For each item, if the item exists in fruits.txt no action is taken.

If the item does not exist it will be appended to the end of the file.

Easy-peasy.

How to put labels over geom_bar in R with ggplot2

To plot text on a ggplot you use the geom_text. But I find it helpful to summarise the data first using ddply

dfl <- ddply(df, .(x), summarize, y=length(x))
str(dfl)

Since the data is pre-summarized, you need to remember to change add the stat="identity" parameter to geom_bar:

ggplot(dfl, aes(x, y=y, fill=x)) + geom_bar(stat="identity") +
    geom_text(aes(label=y), vjust=0) +
    opts(axis.text.x=theme_blank(),
        axis.ticks=theme_blank(),
        axis.title.x=theme_blank(),
        legend.title=theme_blank(),
        axis.title.y=theme_blank()
)

Custom Authentication in ASP.Net-Core

From what I learned after several days of research, Here is the Guide for ASP .Net Core MVC 2.x Custom User Authentication

In Startup.cs :

Add below lines to ConfigureServices method :

public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{

services.AddAuthentication(
    CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme
).AddCookie(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme,
    options =>
    {
        options.LoginPath = "/Account/Login";
        options.LogoutPath = "/Account/Logout";
    });

    services.AddMvc();

    // authentication 
    services.AddAuthentication(options =>
    {
       options.DefaultScheme = CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme;
    });

    services.AddTransient(
        m => new UserManager(
            Configuration
                .GetValue<string>(
                    DEFAULT_CONNECTIONSTRING //this is a string constant
                )
            )
        );
     services.AddDistributedMemoryCache();
}

keep in mind that in above code we said that if any unauthenticated user requests an action which is annotated with [Authorize] , they well force redirect to /Account/Login url.

Add below lines to Configure method :

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
        app.UseBrowserLink();
        app.UseDatabaseErrorPage();
    }
    else
    {
        app.UseExceptionHandler(ERROR_URL);
    }
     app.UseStaticFiles();
     app.UseAuthentication();
     app.UseMvc(routes =>
    {
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "default",
            template: DEFAULT_ROUTING);
    });
}

Create your UserManager class that will also manage login and logout. it should look like below snippet (note that i'm using dapper):

public class UserManager
{
    string _connectionString;

    public UserManager(string connectionString)
    {
        _connectionString = connectionString;
    }

    public async void SignIn(HttpContext httpContext, UserDbModel user, bool isPersistent = false)
    {
        using (var con = new SqlConnection(_connectionString))
        {
            var queryString = "sp_user_login";
            var dbUserData = con.Query<UserDbModel>(
                queryString,
                new
                {
                    UserEmail = user.UserEmail,
                    UserPassword = user.UserPassword,
                    UserCellphone = user.UserCellphone
                },
                commandType: CommandType.StoredProcedure
            ).FirstOrDefault();

            ClaimsIdentity identity = new ClaimsIdentity(this.GetUserClaims(dbUserData), CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme);
            ClaimsPrincipal principal = new ClaimsPrincipal(identity);

            await httpContext.SignInAsync(CookieAuthenticationDefaults.AuthenticationScheme, principal);
        }
    }

    public async void SignOut(HttpContext httpContext)
    {
        await httpContext.SignOutAsync();
    }

    private IEnumerable<Claim> GetUserClaims(UserDbModel user)
    {
        List<Claim> claims = new List<Claim>();

        claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, user.Id().ToString()));
        claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Name, user.UserFirstName));
        claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Email, user.UserEmail));
        claims.AddRange(this.GetUserRoleClaims(user));
        return claims;
    }

    private IEnumerable<Claim> GetUserRoleClaims(UserDbModel user)
    {
        List<Claim> claims = new List<Claim>();

        claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.NameIdentifier, user.Id().ToString()));
        claims.Add(new Claim(ClaimTypes.Role, user.UserPermissionType.ToString()));
        return claims;
    }
}

Then maybe you have an AccountController which has a Login Action that should look like below :

public class AccountController : Controller
{
    UserManager _userManager;

    public AccountController(UserManager userManager)
    {
        _userManager = userManager;
    }

    [HttpPost]
    public IActionResult LogIn(LogInViewModel form)
    {
        if (!ModelState.IsValid)
            return View(form);
         try
        {
            //authenticate
            var user = new UserDbModel()
            {
                UserEmail = form.Email,
                UserCellphone = form.Cellphone,
                UserPassword = form.Password
            };
            _userManager.SignIn(this.HttpContext, user);
             return RedirectToAction("Search", "Home", null);
         }
         catch (Exception ex)
         {
            ModelState.AddModelError("summary", ex.Message);
            return View(form);
         }
    }
}

Now you are able to use [Authorize] annotation on any Action or Controller.

Feel free to comment any questions or bug's.

Sort a two dimensional array based on one column

Using Lambdas since java 8:

final String[][] data = new String[][] { new String[] { "2009.07.25 20:24", "Message A" },
        new String[] { "2009.07.25 20:17", "Message G" }, new String[] { "2009.07.25 20:25", "Message B" },
        new String[] { "2009.07.25 20:30", "Message D" }, new String[] { "2009.07.25 20:01", "Message F" },
        new String[] { "2009.07.25 21:08", "Message E" }, new String[] { "2009.07.25 19:54", "Message R" } };
String[][] out = Arrays.stream(data).sorted(Comparator.comparing(x -> x[1])).toArray(String[][]::new);

System.out.println(Arrays.deepToString(out));
    

Output:

[[2009.07.25 20:24, Message A], [2009.07.25 20:25, Message B], [2009.07.25 20:30, Message D], [2009.07.25 21:08, Message E], [2009.07.25 20:01, Message F], [2009.07.25 20:17, Message G], [2009.07.25 19:54, Message R]]

Why is my toFixed() function not working?

I tried function toFixed(2) many times. Every time console shows "toFixed() is not a function".

but how I resolved is By using Math.round()

eg:

if ($(this).attr('name') == 'time') {
    var value = parseFloat($(this).val());
    value = Math.round(value*100)/100; // 10 defines 1 decimals, 100 for 2, 1000 for 3
    alert(value);
}

this thing surely works for me and it might help you guys too...

How to check if a registry value exists using C#?

  RegistryKey rkSubKey = Registry.CurrentUser.OpenSubKey(" Your Registry Key Location", false);

           // It doesn't exist
        }
        else
        {
           // It exists and do something if you want to
         }

IE prompts to open or save json result from server

In my case, IE11 seems to behave that way when there is some JS syntax error in the console (doesn't matter where exactly) and dataType: 'json' has no effect at all.

How to change title of Activity in Android?

If you want to set title in Java file, then write in your activity onCreate

setTitle("Your Title");

if you want to in Manifest then write

    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="Your Title" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>

Uncaught TypeError: data.push is not a function

you can use push method only if the object is an array:

var data = new Array();
data.push({"country": "IN"}).

OR

data['country'] = "IN"

if it's just an object you can use

data.country = "IN";

Microsoft Excel mangles Diacritics in .csv files?

UTF-8 doesn't work for me in office 2007 without any service pack, with or without BOM (U+ffef or 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF , neither works) installing sp3 makes UTF-8 work when 0xEF,0xBB,0xBF BOM is prepended.

UTF-16 works when encoding in python using "utf-16-le" with a 0xff 0xef BOM prepended, and using tab as seperator. I had to manually write out the BOM, and then use "utf-16-le" rather then "utf-16", otherwise each encode() prepended the BOM to every row written out which appeared as garbage on the first column of the second line and after.

can't tell whether UTF-16 would work without any sp installed, since I can't go back now. sigh

This is on windows, dunno about office for MAC.

for both working cases, the import works when launching a download directly from the browser and the text import wizard doesn't intervence, it works like you would expect.

The project was not built since its build path is incomplete

Here is what made the error disappear for me:

Close eclipse, open up a terminal window and run:

$ mvn clean eclipse:clean eclipse:eclipse

Are you using Maven? If so,

  1. Right-click on the project, Build Path and go to Configure Build Path
  2. Click the libraries tab. If Maven dependencies are not in the list, you need to add it.
  3. Close the dialog.

To add it: Right-click on the project, Maven → Disable Maven Nature Right-click on the project, Configure → Convert to Maven Project.

And then clean

Edit 1:

If that doesn't resolve the issue try right-clicking on your project and select properties. Select Java Build Path → Library tab. Look for a JVM. If it's not there, click to add Library and add the default JVM. If VM is there, click edit and select the default JVM. Hopefully, that works.

Edit 2:

You can also try going into the folder where you have all your projects and delete the .metadata for eclipse (be aware that you'll have to re-import all the projects afterwards! Also all the environment settings you've set would also have to be redone). After it was deleted just import the project again, and hopefully, it works.

Windows batch: echo without new line

As an addendum to @xmechanix's answer, I noticed through writing the contents to a file:

echo | set /p dummyName=Hello World > somefile.txt

That this will add an extra space at the end of the printed string, which can be inconvenient, specially since we're trying to avoid adding a new line (another whitespace character) to the end of the string.

Fortunately, quoting the string to be printed, i.e. using:

echo | set /p dummyName="Hello World" > somefile.txt

Will print the string without any newline or space character at the end.

VB.NET Empty String Array

Dim strEmpty(-1) As String

String to Binary in C#

Here's an extension function:

        public static string ToBinary(this string data, bool formatBits = false)
        {
            char[] buffer = new char[(((data.Length * 8) + (formatBits ? (data.Length - 1) : 0)))];
            int index = 0;
            for (int i = 0; i < data.Length; i++)
            {
                string binary = Convert.ToString(data[i], 2).PadLeft(8, '0');
                for (int j = 0; j < 8; j++)
                {
                    buffer[index] = binary[j];
                    index++;
                }
                if (formatBits && i < (data.Length - 1))
                {
                    buffer[index] = ' ';
                    index++;
                }
            }
            return new string(buffer);
        }

You can use it like:

Console.WriteLine("Testing".ToBinary());

and if you add 'true' as a parameter, it will automatically separate each binary sequence.

Select a random sample of results from a query result

Suppose you are trying to select exactly 1,000 random rows from a table called my_table. This is one way to do it:

select
    *
from
    (
        select
            row_number() over(order by dbms_random.value) as random_id,
            x.*
        from
            my_table x
    )
where
    random_id <= 1000
;

This is a slight deviation from the answer posted by @Quassnoi. They both have the same costs and execution times. The only difference is that you can select the random number used to fetch the sample.

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1

The issue disappeared for me when I started Fiddler. Was using it on my machine before having the issue. Probably something with Fiddler being proxy.

How to pass event as argument to an inline event handler in JavaScript?

Since inline events are executed as functions you can simply use arguments.

<p id="p" onclick="doSomething.apply(this, arguments)">

and

function doSomething(e) {
  if (!e) e = window.event;
  // 'e' is the event.
  // 'this' is the P element
}

The 'event' that is mentioned in the accepted answer is actually the name of the argument passed to the function. It has nothing to do with the global event.

Steps to upload an iPhone application to the AppStore

Xcode 9

If this is your first time to submit an app, I recommend going ahead and reading through the full Apple iTunes Connect documentation or reading one of the following tutorials:

However, those materials are cumbersome when you just want a quick reminder of the steps. My answer to that is below:

Step 1: Create a new app in iTunes Connect

Sign in to iTunes Connect and go to My Apps. Then click the "+" button and choose New App.

enter image description here

Then fill out the basic information for a new app. The app bundle id needs to be the same as the one you are using in your Xcode project. There is probably a better was to name the SKU, but I've never needed it and I just use the bundle id.

enter image description here

Click Create and then go on to Step 2.

Step 2: Archive your app in Xcode

Choose the Generic iOS Device from the active scheme menu.

enter image description here

Then go to Product > Archive.

enter image description here

You may have to wait a little while for Xcode to finish archiving your project. After that you will be shown a dialog with your archived project. You can select Upload to the App Store... and follow the prompts.

I sometimes have to repeat this step a few times because I forgot to include something. Besides the upload wait, it isn't a big deal. Just keep doing it until you don't get any more errors.

Step 3: Finish filling out the iTunes Connect info

Back in iTunes Connect you will need to complete all the required information and resources.

enter image description here

Just go through all the menu options and make sure that you have everything entered that needs to be.

Step 4: Submit

In iTunes Connect, under your app's Prepare for Submission section, click Submit for Review. That's it. Give it about a week to be accepted (or rejected), but it might be faster.

Angular2 Material Dialog css, dialog size

You can also let angular material solve the size itself depending on the content. This means you don't have to cloud your TS files with sizes that depend on your UI. You can keep these in the HTML/CSS.

my-dialog.html

<div class="myContent">
  <h1 mat-dialog-title fxLayoutAlign="center">Your title</h1>
  <form [formGroup]="myForm" fxLayout="column">
    <div mat-dialog-content>
    </div mat-dialog-content>
  </form>
</div>

my-dialog.scss

.myContent {
    width: 300px;
    height: 150px;
}

my-component.ts

const myInfo = {};
this.dialog.open(MyDialogComponent, { data: myInfo });

How can I get two form fields side-by-side, with each field’s label above the field, in CSS?

This worked perfectly for me without css. I think css would put some icing on the cake though.

    <form>
        <label for="First Name" >First Name:</label>
            <input type="text" name="username" size="15" maxlength="30" />
        <label for="Last Name" >Last Name:</label>
            <input type="text" name="username" size="15" maxlength="30" />
    </form>

How to Add a Dotted Underline Beneath HTML Text

Use the following CSS codes...

Submitting a form on 'Enter' with jQuery?

You can also simply add onsubmit="return false" to the form code in the page to prevent the default behaviour.

Then hook (.bind or .live) the form's submit event to any function with jQuery in the javascript file.

Here's a sample code to help:

HTML

<form id="search_form" onsubmit="return false">
   <input type="text" id="search_field"/>
   <input type="button" id="search_btn" value="SEARCH"/>
</form>

Javascript + jQuery

$(document).ready(function() {

    $('#search_form').live("submit", function() {
        any_function()
    });
});

This is working as of 2011-04-13, with Firefox 4.0 and jQuery 1.4.3

How to display errors for my MySQLi query?

Just simply add or die(mysqli_error($db)); at the end of your query, this will print the mysqli error.

 mysqli_query($db,"INSERT INTO stockdetails (`itemdescription`,`itemnumber`,`sellerid`,`purchasedate`,`otherinfo`,`numberofitems`,`isitdelivered`,`price`) VALUES ('$itemdescription','$itemnumber','$sellerid','$purchasedate','$otherinfo','$numberofitems','$numberofitemsused','$isitdelivered','$price')") or die(mysqli_error($db));

As a side note I'd say you are at risk of mysql injection, check here How can I prevent SQL injection in PHP?. You should really use prepared statements to avoid any risk.

How to get the list of properties of a class?

Here is improved @lucasjones answer. I included improvements mentioned in comment section after his answer. I hope someone will find this useful.

public static string[] GetTypePropertyNames(object classObject,  BindingFlags bindingFlags)
{
    if (classObject == null)
    {
        throw new ArgumentNullException(nameof(classObject));
    }

        var type = classObject.GetType();
        var propertyInfos = type.GetProperties(bindingFlags);

        return propertyInfos.Select(propertyInfo => propertyInfo.Name).ToArray();
 }

Custom UITableViewCell from nib in Swift

This line add in TableView cell:

static var nib  : UINib{

           return String(describing: self)

       }

    

And register in viewcontroller like



//This line use in viewdid load

tableview.register(TopDealLikedTableViewCell.nib, forCellReuseIdentifier: TopDealLikedTableViewCell.identifier)

// cell for row at indexpath

if let cell = tableView.dequeueReusableCell(withIdentifier:

Python Traceback (most recent call last)

In Python2, input is evaluated, input() is equivalent to eval(raw_input()). When you enter klj, Python tries to evaluate that name and raises an error because that name is not defined.

Use raw_input to get a string from the user in Python2.

Demo 1: klj is not defined:

>>> input()
klj
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'klj' is not defined

Demo 2: klj is defined:

>>> klj = 'hi'
>>> input()
klj
'hi'

Demo 3: getting a string with raw_input:

>>> raw_input()
klj
'klj'

How to export a CSV to Excel using Powershell

I had some problem getting the other examples to work.

EPPlus and other libraries produces OpenDocument Xml format, which is not the same as you get when you save from Excel as xlsx.

macks example with open CSV and just re-saving didn't work, I never managed to get the ',' delimiter to be used correctly.

Ansgar Wiechers example has some slight error which I found the answer for in the commencts.

Anyway, this is a complete working example. Save this in a File CsvToExcel.ps1

param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$inputfile,
[Parameter(Mandatory=$true)][string]$outputfile
)

$excel = New-Object -ComObject Excel.Application
$excel.Visible = $false

$wb = $excel.Workbooks.Add()
$ws = $wb.Sheets.Item(1)

$ws.Cells.NumberFormat = "@"

write-output "Opening $inputfile"

$i = 1
Import-Csv $inputfile | Foreach-Object { 
    $j = 1
    foreach ($prop in $_.PSObject.Properties)
    {
        if ($i -eq 1) {
            $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j) = $prop.Name
        } else {
            $ws.Cells.Item($i, $j) = $prop.Value
        }
        $j++
    }
    $i++
}

$wb.SaveAs($outputfile,51)
$wb.Close()
$excel.Quit()
write-output "Success"

Execute with:

.\CsvToExcel.ps1 -inputfile "C:\Temp\X\data.csv" -outputfile "C:\Temp\X\data.xlsx"

reading from app.config file

ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings is deprecated, see here:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.configuration.configurationsettings.appsettings.aspx

That said, it should still work.

Just a suggestion, but have you confirmed that your application configuration is the one your executable is using?

Try attaching a debugger and checking the following value:

AppDomain.CurrentDomain.SetupInformation.ConfigurationFile

And then opening the configuration file and verifying the section is there as you expected.

Android - get children inside a View?

As an update for those who come across this question after 2018, if you are using Kotlin, you can simply use the Android KTX extension property ViewGroup.children to get a sequence of the View's immediate children.

How do you implement a Stack and a Queue in JavaScript?

The stack implementation is trivial as explained in the other answers.

However, I didn't find any satisfactory answers in this thread for implementing a queue in javascript, so I made my own.

There are three types of solutions in this thread:

  • Arrays - The worst solution, using array.shift() on a large array is very inefficient.
  • Linked lists - It's O(1) but using an object for each element is a bit excessive, especially if there are a lot of them and they are small, like storing numbers.
  • Delayed shift arrays - It consists of associating an index with the array. When an element is dequeued, the index moves forward. When the index reaches the middle of the array, the array is sliced in two to remove the first half.

Delayed shift arrays are the most satisfactory solution in my mind, but they still store everything in one large contiguous array which can be problematic, and the application will stagger when the array is sliced.

I made an implementation using linked lists of small arrays (1000 elements max each). The arrays behave like delayed shift arrays, except they are never sliced: when every element in the array is removed, the array is simply discarded.

The package is on npm with basic FIFO functionality, I just pushed it recently. The code is split into two parts.

Here is the first part

/** Queue contains a linked list of Subqueue */
class Subqueue <T> {
  public full() {
    return this.array.length >= 1000;
  }

  public get size() {
    return this.array.length - this.index;
  }

  public peek(): T {
    return this.array[this.index];
  }

  public last(): T {
    return this.array[this.array.length-1];
  }

  public dequeue(): T {
    return this.array[this.index++];
  }

  public enqueue(elem: T) {
    this.array.push(elem);
  }

  private index: number = 0;
  private array: T [] = [];

  public next: Subqueue<T> = null;
}

And here is the main Queue class:

class Queue<T> {
  get length() {
    return this._size;
  }

  public push(...elems: T[]) {
    for (let elem of elems) {
      if (this.bottom.full()) {
        this.bottom = this.bottom.next = new Subqueue<T>();
      }
      this.bottom.enqueue(elem);
    }

    this._size += elems.length;
  }

  public shift(): T {
    if (this._size === 0) {
      return undefined;
    }

    const val = this.top.dequeue();
    this._size--;
    if (this._size > 0 && this.top.size === 0 && this.top.full()) {
      // Discard current subqueue and point top to the one after
      this.top = this.top.next;
    }
    return val;
  }

  public peek(): T {
    return this.top.peek();
  }

  public last(): T {
    return this.bottom.last();
  }

  public clear() {
    this.bottom = this.top = new Subqueue();
    this._size = 0;
  }

  private top: Subqueue<T> = new Subqueue();
  private bottom: Subqueue<T> = this.top;
  private _size: number = 0;
}

Type annotations (: X) can easily be removed to obtain ES6 javascript code.

How to drop all tables in a SQL Server database?

It doesn't work for me either when there are multiple foreign key tables.
I found that code that works and does everything you try (delete all tables from your database):

DECLARE @Sql NVARCHAR(500) DECLARE @Cursor CURSOR

SET @Cursor = CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR
SELECT DISTINCT sql = 'ALTER TABLE [' + tc2.TABLE_SCHEMA + '].[' +  tc2.TABLE_NAME + '] DROP [' + rc1.CONSTRAINT_NAME + '];'
FROM INFORMATION_SCHEMA.REFERENTIAL_CONSTRAINTS rc1
LEFT JOIN INFORMATION_SCHEMA.TABLE_CONSTRAINTS tc2 ON tc2.CONSTRAINT_NAME =rc1.CONSTRAINT_NAME

OPEN @Cursor FETCH NEXT FROM @Cursor INTO @Sql

WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN
Exec sp_executesql @Sql
FETCH NEXT FROM @Cursor INTO @Sql
END

CLOSE @Cursor DEALLOCATE @Cursor
GO

EXEC sp_MSforeachtable 'DROP TABLE ?'
GO

How can I see the size of a GitHub repository before cloning it?

You can do it using the Github API

This is the Python example:

import requests


if __name__ == '__main__':
    base_api_url = 'https://api.github.com/repos'
    git_repository_url = 'https://github.com/garysieling/wikipedia-categorization.git'

    github_username, repository_name = git_repository_url[:-4].split('/')[-2:]  # garysieling and wikipedia-categorization
    res = requests.get(f'{base_api_url}/{github_username}/{repository_name}')
    repository_size = res.json().get('size')
    print(repository_size)

Should I put #! (shebang) in Python scripts, and what form should it take?

It's really just a matter of taste. Adding the shebang means people can invoke the script directly if they want (assuming it's marked as executable); omitting it just means python has to be invoked manually.

The end result of running the program isn't affected either way; it's just options of the means.

How can I add a new column and data to a datatable that already contains data?

Just keep going with your code - you're on the right track:

//call SQL helper class to get initial data 
DataTable dt = sql.ExecuteDataTable("sp_MyProc");

dt.Columns.Add("NewColumn", typeof(System.Int32));

foreach(DataRow row in dt.Rows)
{
    //need to set value to NewColumn column
    row["NewColumn"] = 0;   // or set it to some other value
}

// possibly save your Dataset here, after setting all the new values

Add MIME mapping in web.config for IIS Express

Adding external library in Android studio

A late answer, although I thought of giving an in-depth answer to this question. This method is suitable for Android Studio 1.0.0 and above.

STEPS

  1. First switch your folder structure from Android to Project.

enter image description here

  1. Now search for the libs folder inside app - build folder.

enter image description here

  1. Once you have pasted the .jar file inside libs folder. Right click on the jar file and at end click on Add as library. This will take care of adding compile files('libs/library_name.jar') in build.gradle [You don't have to manually enter this in your build file].

enter image description here

Now you can start using the library in your project.

nodejs - How to read and output jpg image?

Here is how you can read the entire file contents, and if done successfully, start a webserver which displays the JPG image in response to every request:

var http = require('http')
var fs = require('fs')

fs.readFile('image.jpg', function(err, data) {
  if (err) throw err // Fail if the file can't be read.
  http.createServer(function(req, res) {
    res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'image/jpeg'})
    res.end(data) // Send the file data to the browser.
  }).listen(8124)
  console.log('Server running at http://localhost:8124/')
})

Note that the server is launched by the "readFile" callback function and the response header has Content-Type: image/jpeg.

[Edit] You could even embed the image in an HTML page directly by using an <img> with a data URI source. For example:

  res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
  res.write('<html><body><img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,')
  res.write(Buffer.from(data).toString('base64'));
  res.end('"/></body></html>');

MVC Razor Hidden input and passing values

A move from WebForms to MVC requires a complete sea-change in logic and brain processes. You're no longer interacting with the 'form' both server-side and client-side (and in fact even with WebForms you weren't interacting client-side). You've probably just mixed up a bit of thinking there, in that with WebForms and RUNAT="SERVER" you were merely interacting with the building of the Web page.

MVC is somewhat similar in that you have server-side code in constructing the model (the data you need to build what your user will see), but once you have built the HTML you need to appreciate that the link between the server and the user no longer exists. They have a page of HTML, that's it.

So the HTML you are building is read-only. You pass the model through to the Razor page, which will build HTML appropriate to that model.

If you want to have a hidden element which sets true or false depending on whether this is the first view or not you need a bool in your model, and set it to True in the Action if it's in response to a follow up. This could be done by having different actions depending on whether the request is [HttpGet] or [HttpPost] (if that's appropriate for how you set up your form: a GET request for the first visit and a POST request if submitting a form).

Alternatively the model could be set to True when it's created (which will be the first time you visit the page), but after you check the value as being True or False (since a bool defaults to False when it's instantiated). Then using:

@Html.HiddenFor(x => x.HiddenPostBack)

in your form, which will put a hidden True. When the form is posted back to your server the model will now have that value set to True.

It's hard to give much more advice than that as your question isn't specific as to why you want to do this. It's perhaps vital that you read a good book on moving to MVC from WebForms, such as Steve Sanderson's Pro ASP.NET MVC.

What is the 'pythonic' equivalent to the 'fold' function from functional programming?

Not really answer to the question, but one-liners for foldl and foldr:

a = [8,3,4]

## Foldl
reduce(lambda x,y: x**y, a)
#68719476736

## Foldr
reduce(lambda x,y: y**x, a[::-1])
#14134776518227074636666380005943348126619871175004951664972849610340958208L

C++ IDE for Macs

Another (albeit non-free) option is to install VMware Fusion or Parallels Desktop on the Mac and run Windows with Visual Studio in a VM.

This works really pretty well. The downsides are:

  • it'll cost money for the virtual machine software and Windows (the school may have some academic licensing that may help here)
  • the Mac needs to be an x86 Mac with a fair bit of memory

The upside is that you and the student don't need to hassle with differences in the IDE that may not be accounted for in your instruction materials.

What's the difference between REST & RESTful

REST is an architectural pattern for creating web services. A RESTful service is one that implements that pattern.

Can I assume (bool)true == (int)1 for any C++ compiler?

I've found different compilers return different results on true. I've also found that one is almost always better off comparing a bool to a bool instead of an int. Those ints tend to change value over time as your program evolves and if you assume true as 1, you can get bitten by an unrelated change elsewhere in your code.

Among $_REQUEST, $_GET and $_POST which one is the fastest?

$_GET retrieves variables from the querystring, or your URL.>

$_POST retrieves variables from a POST method, such as (generally) forms.

$_REQUEST is a merging of $_GET and $_POST where $_POST overrides $_GET. Good to use $_REQUEST on self refrential forms for validations.

Better way to revert to a previous SVN revision of a file?

If you use the Eclipse IDE with the SVN plugin you can do as follows:

  1. Right-click the files that you want to revert (or the folder they were contained in, if you deleted them by mistake and you want to add them back)
  2. Select "Team > Switch"
  3. Choose the "Revision" radion button, and enter the revision number you'd like to revert to. Click OK
  4. Go to the Synchronize perspective
  5. Select all the files you want to revert
  6. Right-click on the selection and do "Override and Commit..."

This will revert the files to the revision that you want. Just keep in mind that SVN will see the changes as a new commit. That is, the change gets a new revision number, and there is no link between the old revision and the new one. You should specify in the commit comments that you are reverting those files to a specific revision.

How can I format a String number to have commas and round?

This can also be accomplished using String.format(), which may be easier and/or more flexible if you are formatting multiple numbers in one string.

    String number = "1000500000.574";
    Double numParsed = Double.parseDouble(number);

    System.out.println(String.format("The input number is: %,.2f", numParsed));
    // Or
    String numString = String.format("%,.2f", numParsed);

For the format string "%,.2f" - "," means separate digit groups with commas, and ".2" means round to two places after the decimal.

For reference on other formatting options, see https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/java/data/numberformat.html

How to close form

There are different methods to open or close winform. Form.Close() is one method in closing a winform.

When 'Form.Close()' execute , all resources created in that form are destroyed. Resources means control and all its child controls (labels , buttons) , forms etc.

Some other methods to close winform

  1. Form.Hide()
  2. Application.Exit()

Some methods to Open/Start a form

  1. Form.Show()
  2. Form.ShowDialog()
  3. Form.TopMost()

All of them act differently , Explore them !

How can I loop through a C++ map of maps?

First solution is Use range_based for loop, like:

Note: When range_expression’s type is std::map then a range_declaration’s type is std::pair.

for ( range_declaration : range_expression )      
  //loop_statement

Code 1:

typedef std::map<std::string, std::map<std::string, std::string>> StringToStringMap;

StringToStringMap my_map;

for(const auto &pair1 : my_map) 
{
   // Type of pair1 is std::pair<std::string, std::map<std::string, std::string>>
   // pair1.first point to std::string (first key)
   // pair1.second point to std::map<std::string, std::string> (inner map)
   for(const auto &pair2 : pair1.second) 
   {
       // pair2.first is the second(inner) key
       // pair2.second is the value
   }
}

The Second Solution:

Code 2

typedef std::map<std::string, std::string> StringMap;
typedef std::map<std::string, StringMap> StringToStringMap;

StringToStringMap my_map;

for(StringToStringMap::iterator it1 = my_map.begin(); it1 != my_map.end(); it1++)
{
    // it1->first point to first key
    // it2->second point to inner map
    for(StringMap::iterator it2 = it1->second.begin(); it2 != it1->second.end(); it2++)
     {
        // it2->second point to value
        // it2->first point to second(inner) key 
     }
 }

$on and $broadcast in angular

If you want to $broadcast use the $rootScope:

$scope.startScanner = function() {

    $rootScope.$broadcast('scanner-started');
}

And then to receive, use the $scope of your controller:

$scope.$on('scanner-started', function(event, args) {

    // do what you want to do
});

If you want you can pass arguments when you $broadcast:

$rootScope.$broadcast('scanner-started', { any: {} });

And then receive them:

$scope.$on('scanner-started', function(event, args) {

    var anyThing = args.any;
    // do what you want to do
});

Convert int to ASCII and back in Python

If multiple characters are bound inside a single integer/long, as was my issue:

s = '0123456789'
nchars = len(s)
# string to int or long. Type depends on nchars
x = sum(ord(s[byte])<<8*(nchars-byte-1) for byte in range(nchars))
# int or long to string
''.join(chr((x>>8*(nchars-byte-1))&0xFF) for byte in range(nchars))

Yields '0123456789' and x = 227581098929683594426425L

How can I convert an MDB (Access) file to MySQL (or plain SQL file)?

OSX users can follow by Nicolay77 or mikkom that uses the mdbtools utility. You can install it via Homebrew. Just have your homebrew installed and then go

$ homebrew install mdbtools

Then create one of the scripts described by the guys and use it. I've used mikkom's one, converted all my mdb files into sql.

$ ./to_mysql.sh myfile.mdb > myfile.sql

(which btw contains more than 1 table)

git diff between cloned and original remote repository

1) Add any remote repositories you want to compare:

git remote add foobar git://github.com/user/foobar.git

2) Update your local copy of a remote:

git fetch foobar

Fetch won't change your working copy.

3) Compare any branch from your local repository to any remote you've added:

git diff master foobar/master

How to initialize std::vector from C-style array?

You use the word initialize so it's unclear if this is one-time assignment or can happen multiple times.

If you just need a one time initialization, you can put it in the constructor and use the two iterator vector constructor:

Foo::Foo(double* w, int len) : w_(w, w + len) { }

Otherwise use assign as previously suggested:

void set_data(double* w, int len)
{
    w_.assign(w, w + len);
}

Convert String into a Class Object

I am storing a class object into a string using toString() method. Now, I want to convert the string into that class object.

Your question is ambiguous. It could mean at least two different things, one of which is ... well ... a serious misconception on your part.


If you did this:

SomeClass object = ...
String s = object.toString();

then the answer is that there is no simple way to turn s back into an instance of SomeClass. You couldn't do it even if the toString() method gave you one of those funky "SomeClass@xxxxxxxx" strings. (That string does not encode the state of the object, or even a reference to the object. The xxxxxxxx part is the object's identity hashcode. It is not unique, and cannot be magically turned back into a reference to the object.)

The only way you could turn the output of toString back into an object would be to:

  • code the SomeClass.toString() method so that included all relevant state for the object in the String it produced, and
  • code a constructor or factory method that explicitly parsed a String in the format produced by the toString() method.

This is probably a bad approach. Certainly, it is a lot of work to do this for non-trivial classes.


If you did something like this:

SomeClass object = ...
Class c = object.getClass();
String cn = c.toString();

then you could get the same Class object back (i.e. the one that is in c) as follows:

Class c2 = Class.forName(cn);

This gives you the Class but there is no magic way to reconstruct the original instance using it. (Obviously, the name of the class does not contain the state of the object.)


If you are looking for a way to serialize / deserialize an arbitrary object without going to the effort of coding the unparse / parse methods yourself, then you shouldn't be using toString() method at all. Here are some alternatives that you can use:

  • The Java Object Serialization APIs as described in the links in @Nishant's answer.
  • JSON serialization as described in @fatnjazzy's answer.
  • An XML serialization library like XStream.
  • An ORM mapping.

Each of these approaches has advantages and disadvantages ... which I won't go into here.

catch specific HTTP error in python

Python 3

from urllib.error import HTTPError

Python 2

from urllib2 import HTTPError

Just catch HTTPError, handle it, and if it's not Error 404, simply use raise to re-raise the exception.

See the Python tutorial.

e.g. complete example for Pyhton 2

import urllib2
from urllib2 import HTTPError
try:
   urllib2.urlopen("some url")
except HTTPError as err:
   if err.code == 404:
       <whatever>
   else:
       raise

Google Maps setCenter()

@phoenix24 answer actually helped me (whose own asnwer did not solve my problem btw). The correct arguments for setCenter is

map.setCenter({lat:LAT_VALUE, lng:LONG_VALUE});

Google Documentation

By the way if your variable are lat and lng the following code will work

map.setCenter({lat:lat, lng:lng});

This actually solved my very intricate problem so I thought I will post it here.

Should I use .done() and .fail() for new jQuery AJAX code instead of success and error

As stated by user2246674, using success and error as parameter of the ajax function is valid.

To be consistent with precedent answer, reading the doc :

Deprecation Notice:

The jqXHR.success(), jqXHR.error(), and jqXHR.complete() callbacks will be deprecated in jQuery 1.8. To prepare your code for their eventual removal, use jqXHR.done(), jqXHR.fail(), and jqXHR.always() instead.

If you are using the callback-manipulation function (using method-chaining for example), use .done(), .fail() and .always() instead of success(), error() and complete().

How do I print to the debug output window in a Win32 app?

I was looking for a way to do this myself and figured out a simple solution.

I'm assuming that you started a default Win32 Project (Windows application) in Visual Studio, which provides a "WinMain" function. By default, Visual Studio sets the entry point to "SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS". You need to first change this by going to:

Project -> Properties -> Linker -> System -> Subsystem

And select "Console (/SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE)" from the drop-down list.

Now, the program will not run, since a "main" function is needed instead of the "WinMain" function.

So now you can add a "main" function like you normally would in C++. After this, to start the GUI program, you can call the "WinMain" function from inside the "main" function.

The starting part of your program should now look something like this:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

// Main function for the console
int main(){

    // Calling the wWinMain function to start the GUI program
    // Parameters:
    // GetModuleHandle(NULL) - To get a handle to the current instance
    // NULL - Previous instance is not needed
    // NULL - Command line parameters are not needed
    // 1 - To show the window normally
    wWinMain(GetModuleHandle(NULL), NULL,NULL, 1); 

    system("pause");
    return 0;
}

// Function for entry into GUI program
int APIENTRY wWinMain(_In_ HINSTANCE hInstance,
                     _In_opt_ HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                     _In_ LPWSTR    lpCmdLine,
                     _In_ int       nCmdShow)
{
    // This will display "Hello World" in the console as soon as the GUI begins.
    cout << "Hello World" << endl;
.
.
.

Result of my implementation

Now you can use functions to output to the console in any part of your GUI program for debugging or other purposes.

How to get the URL without any parameters in JavaScript?

You can concat origin and pathname, if theres present a port such as example.com:80, that will be included as well.

location.origin + location.pathname

Maven project version inheritance - do I have to specify the parent version?

<parent>
    <groupId>com.dummy.bla</groupId>
    <artifactId>parent</artifactId>
    <version>0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>     
 </parent>

 <groupId>com.dummy.bla.sub</groupId>
 <artifactId>kid</artifactId>

You mean you want to remove the version from parent block of B's pom, I think you can not do it, the groupId, artifactId, and version specified the parent's pom coordinate's, what you can omit is child's version.

Query to list all users of a certain group

And the more complex query if you need to search in a several groups:

(&(objectCategory=user)(|(memberOf=CN=GroupOne,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)(memberOf=CN=GroupTwo,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)(memberOf=CN=GroupThree,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)))

The same example with recursion:

(&(objectCategory=user)(|(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=GroupOne,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=GroupTwo,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)(memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.1941:=CN=GroupThree,OU=Security Groups,OU=Groups,DC=example,DC=com)))

How to truncate the time on a DateTime object in Python?

How to remove square brackets from list in Python?

if you have numbers in list, you can use map to apply str to each element:

print ', '.join(map(str, LIST))

^ map is C code so it's faster than str(i) for i in LIST

Limit file format when using <input type="file">?

I may suggest following:

  • If you have to make user select any of image files by default, the use accept="image/*"

    <input type="file" accept="image/*" />

  • if you want to restrict to specific image types then use accept="image/bmp, image/jpeg, image/png"

    <input type="file" accept="image/bmp, image/jpeg, image/png" />

  • if you want to restrict to specific types then use accept=".bmp, .doc, .pdf"

    <input type="file" accept=".bmp, .doc, .pdf" />

  • You cannot restrict user to change file filer to all files, so always validate file type in script and server

Why use sys.path.append(path) instead of sys.path.insert(1, path)?

you are confusing the concept of appending and prepending. the following code is prepending:

sys.path.insert(1,'/thePathToYourFolder/')

it places the new information at the beginning (well, second, to be precise) of the search sequence that your interpreter will go through. sys.path.append() puts things at the very end of the search sequence.

it is advisable that you use something like virtualenv instead of manually coding your package directories into the PYTHONPATH everytime. for setting up various ecosystems that separate your site-packages and possible versions of python, read these two blogs:

  1. python ecosystems introduction

  2. bootstrapping python virtual environments

if you do decide to move down the path to environment isolation you would certainly benefit by looking into virtualenvwrapper: http://www.doughellmann.com/docs/virtualenvwrapper/

How to insert text in a td with id, using JavaScript

There are several options... assuming you found your TD by var td = document.getElementyById('myTD_ID'); you can do:

  • td.innerHTML = "mytext";

  • td.textContent= "mytext";

  • td.innerText= "mytext"; - this one may not work outside IE? Not sure

  • Use firstChild or children array as previous poster noted.

If it's just the text that needs to be changed, textContent is faster and less prone to XSS attacks (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Node.textContent)

Yes/No message box using QMessageBox

You would use QMessageBox::question for that.

Example in a hypothetical widget's slot:

#include <QApplication>
#include <QMessageBox>
#include <QDebug>

// ...

void MyWidget::someSlot() {
  QMessageBox::StandardButton reply;
  reply = QMessageBox::question(this, "Test", "Quit?",
                                QMessageBox::Yes|QMessageBox::No);
  if (reply == QMessageBox::Yes) {
    qDebug() << "Yes was clicked";
    QApplication::quit();
  } else {
    qDebug() << "Yes was *not* clicked";
  }
}

Should work on Qt 4 and 5, requires QT += widgets on Qt 5, and CONFIG += console on Win32 to see qDebug() output.

See the StandardButton enum to get a list of buttons you can use; the function returns the button that was clicked. You can set a default button with an extra argument (Qt "chooses a suitable default automatically" if you don't or specify QMessageBox::NoButton).

How to list branches that contain a given commit?

From the git-branch manual page:

 git branch --contains <commit>

Only list branches which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not specified). Implies --list.


 git branch -r --contains <commit>

Lists remote tracking branches as well (as mentioned in user3941992's answer below) that is "local branches that have a direct relationship to a remote branch".


As noted by Carl Walsh, this applies only to the default refspec

fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*

If you need to include other ref namespace (pull request, Gerrit, ...), you need to add that new refspec, and fetch again:

git config --add remote.origin.fetch "+refs/pull/*/head:refs/remotes/origin/pr/*"
git fetch
git branch -r --contains <commit>

See also this git ready article.

The --contains tag will figure out if a certain commit has been brought in yet into your branch. Perhaps you’ve got a commit SHA from a patch you thought you had applied, or you just want to check if commit for your favorite open source project that reduces memory usage by 75% is in yet.

$ git log -1 tests
commit d590f2ac0635ec0053c4a7377bd929943d475297
Author: Nick Quaranto <[email protected]>
Date:   Wed Apr 1 20:38:59 2009 -0400

    Green all around, finally.

$ git branch --contains d590f2
  tests
* master

Note: if the commit is on a remote tracking branch, add the -a option.
(as MichielB comments below)

git branch -a --contains <commit>

MatrixFrog comments that it only shows which branches contain that exact commit.
If you want to know which branches contain an "equivalent" commit (i.e. which branches have cherry-picked that commit) that's git cherry:

Because git cherry compares the changeset rather than the commit id (sha1), you can use git cherry to find out if a commit you made locally has been applied <upstream> under a different commit id.
For example, this will happen if you’re feeding patches <upstream> via email rather than pushing or pulling commits directly.

           __*__*__*__*__> <upstream>
          /
fork-point
          \__+__+__-__+__+__-__+__> <head>

(Here, the commits marked '-' wouldn't show up with git cherry, meaning they are already present in <upstream>.)

C# Ignore certificate errors?

The reason it's failing is not because it isn't signed but because the root certificate isn't trusted by your client. Rather than switch off SSL validation, an alternative approach would be to add the root CA cert to the list of CAs your app trusts.

This is the root CA cert that your app currently doesn't trust:

Android: how to hide ActionBar on certain activities

To hide the ActionBar add this code into java file.

    ActionBar actionBar = getSupportActionBar();

Forcing to download a file using PHP

This cannot be done reliably, since it's up to the browser to decide what to do with an URL it's been asked to retrieve.

You can suggest to the browser that it should offer to "save to disk" right away by sending a Content-disposition header:

header("Content-disposition: attachment");

I'm not sure how well this is supported by various browsers. The alternative is to send a Content-type of application/octet-stream, but that is a hack (you're basically telling the browser "I'm not telling you what kind of file this is" and depending on the fact that most browsers will then offer a download dialog) and allegedly causes problems with Internet Explorer.

Read more about this in the Web Authoring FAQ.

Edit You've already switched to a PHP file to deliver the data - which is necessary to set the Content-disposition header (unless there are some arcane Apache settings that can also do this). Now all that's left to do is for that PHP file to read the contents of the CSV file and print them - the filename=example.csv in the header only suggests to the client browser what name to use for the file, it does not actually fetch the data from the file on the server.

Install shows error in console: INSTALL FAILED CONFLICTING PROVIDER

I´ve got this error, when implementing an library with following AndroidmManifest.xml

<provider
        android:name="androidx.core.content.FileProvider"
        android:authorities="library.path.provider"

What is the difference between tree depth and height?

Another way to understand those concept is as follow: Depth: Draw a horizontal line at the root position and treat this line as ground. So the depth of the root is 0, and all its children are grow downward so each level of nodes has the current depth + 1.

Height: Same horizontal line but this time the ground position is external nodes, which is the leaf of tree and count upward.

Java: Clear the console

This is how I would handle it. This method will work for the Windows OS case and the Linux/Unix OS case (which means it also works for Mac OS X).

public final static void clearConsole()
{
    try
    {
        final String os = System.getProperty("os.name");

        if (os.contains("Windows"))
        {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cls");
        }
        else
        {
            Runtime.getRuntime().exec("clear");
        }
    }
    catch (final Exception e)
    {
        //  Handle any exceptions.
    }
}

Note that this method generally will not clear the console if you are running inside an IDE.

WaitAll vs WhenAll

Task.WaitAll blocks the current thread until everything has completed.

Task.WhenAll returns a task which represents the action of waiting until everything has completed.

That means that from an async method, you can use:

await Task.WhenAll(tasks);

... which means your method will continue when everything's completed, but you won't tie up a thread to just hang around until that time.

How to run an EXE file in PowerShell with parameters with spaces and quotes

I tried all of the suggestions but was still unable to run msiexec.exe with parameters that contained spaces. So my solution ended up using System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo:

$pinfo.WorkingDirectory = $ScriptDirectory
$pinfo.FileName = "msiexec.exe"
$pinfo.RedirectStandardError = $true
$pinfo.RedirectStandardOutput = $true
$pinfo.UseShellExecute = $false
$pinfo.Arguments = "/l* install.log /i installer.msi $settingsJoined"
$p = New-Object System.Diagnostics.Process
$p.StartInfo = $pinfo
$p.Start() | Out-Null
$p.WaitForExit()
$stdout = $p.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd()

There is convinient way to use python2 version fab when your os python linked to python3. .sh for your command.

# fab python2
cd /usr/local/opt
rm python
ln -s python2 python

# use the fab cli
...

# link to python3
cd /usr/local/opt
rm python
ln -s python3 python

Hope this helps.

get launchable activity name of package from adb

Since Android 7.0 you can use adb shell cmd package resolve-activity command to get the default activity of an installed app like this:

adb shell "cmd package resolve-activity --brief com.google.android.calculator | tail -n 1"
com.google.android.calculator/com.android.calculator2.Calculator

npm - how to show the latest version of a package

As of October 2014:

npm view illustration

For latest remote version:

npm view <module_name> version  

Note, version is singular.

If you'd like to see all available (remote) versions, then do:

npm view <module_name> versions

Note, versions is plural. This will give you the full listing of versions to choose from.

To get the version you actually have locally you could use:

npm list --depth=0 | grep <module_name>

Note, even with package.json declaring your versions, the installed version might actually differ slightly - for instance if tilda was used in the version declaration

Should work across NPM versions 1.3.x, 1.4.x, 2.x and 3.x

How to run a program automatically as admin on Windows 7 at startup?

You need to plug it into the task scheduler, such that it is launched after login of a user, using a user account that has administrative access on the system, with the highest privileges that are afforded to processes launched by that account.

This is the implementation that is used to autostart processes with administrative privileges when logging in as an ordinary user.

I've used it to launch the 'OpenVPN GUI' helper process which needs elevated privileges to work correctly, and thus would not launch properly from the registry key.

From the command line, you can create the task from an XML description of what you want to accomplish; so for example we have this, exported from my system, which would start notepad with the highest privileges when i log in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16"?>

schtasks /create /tn "start notepad on login" /xml startnotepad.xml

this answer should really be moved over to one of the other stackexchange sites, as it's not actually a programming question per se.

How to set button click effect in Android?

For all the views

android:background="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

But for cardview which has elevation use

android:foreground="?android:attr/selectableItemBackground"

For Circular click effect as in toolbar

android:background="?android:attr/actionBarItemBackground"

Also you need to set

 android:clickable="true"
 android:focusable="true"

Add ArrayList to another ArrayList in java

Wouldn't it just be a case of:

ArrayList<ArrayList<String>> outer = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
ArrayList<String> nodeList = new ArrayList<String>();

// Fill in nodeList here...

outer.add(nodeList);

Repeat as necesary.

This should return you a list in the format you specified.

Is there a mechanism to loop x times in ES6 (ECMAScript 6) without mutable variables?

Advantages of this solution

  • Simplest to read / use (imo)
  • Return value can be used as a sum, or just ignored
  • Plain es6 version, also link to TypeScript version of the code

Disadvantages - Mutation. Being internal only I don't care, maybe some others will not either.

Examples and Code

times(5, 3)                       // 15    (3+3+3+3+3)

times(5, (i) => Math.pow(2,i) )   // 31    (1+2+4+8+16)

times(5, '<br/>')                 // <br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>

times(3, (i, count) => {          // name[0], name[1], name[2]
    let n = 'name[' + i + ']'
    if (i < count-1)
        n += ', '
    return n
})

function times(count, callbackOrScalar) {
    let type = typeof callbackOrScalar
    let sum
    if (type === 'number') sum = 0
    else if (type === 'string') sum = ''

    for (let j = 0; j < count; j++) {
        if (type === 'function') {
            const callback = callbackOrScalar
            const result = callback(j, count)
            if (typeof result === 'number' || typeof result === 'string')
                sum = sum === undefined ? result : sum + result
        }
        else if (type === 'number' || type === 'string') {
            const scalar = callbackOrScalar
            sum = sum === undefined ? scalar : sum + scalar
        }
    }
    return sum
}
